LCD Soundsystem

wine bar not working out eh

it's OK here's pitch4k to ruin everyone's fun

http://pitchfork.com/news/60997-lcd-soundsystem-not-reuniting-despite-reports/

Update – 4:00 p.m.: DFA Records, the label co-owned by Murphy, has issued a statement denying the band’s plans to reunite. Despite this, our sources stress the band intends to reunite next year, and we stand behind our original report.

Ha. Don't stop believing CoS.

"it's OK here's pitch4k to ruin everyone's fun"

more like make nice to their label friends when the PR hits the fan

it's happening

it wd be v lame if it happened so soon

like the whole final show thing was remotely believable in the first place

also if it were happening it'd be p rude for DFA dude to be so insulting abt it!
i'm sure it'll happen at SOME point but after only 4 years?

they made a fucking film about how they were fucking off and never playing a note of their fucking music ever again, fucksake

Murphy said at the time it was the end of them as a make-an-album, tour-the-album band, that he would probably do stuff under the name in the future, and released music as LCD Soundsystem the following year iirc.

Cool maybe this time I will hear something that makes me understand why they were so big in the first place

this is different than whatever it's advertising in that commercial of him playing music in the subway right?

New song for Christmas??

"Christmas I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down", way boring

It's the worst type of song they do. So dull.

Outside of New York how many songs like that have they done? Agree it is pretty dull

last album had a few

ah maybe not actually, i was thinking of dance yrself clean and "somebody's calling me" but i guess something kinda happens on those

so... the reunion is happening after all? coachella one off?

'Never as Tired as When I'm Waking Up'?

ahhh, but I dig that one!

I mean it's hardly a highlight of the album but IMO way better than this one

yeah i like the token ballads on the albums.

oh god a reunion would be so corny

Thanks for bumping this thread, because even though I don't care about the new song or any reunion, I'm listening to "Yeah" right now and it's just as great as I remembered.

One of my fave bands in recent memory, but why can't groups just stay broken up anymore? LCD took less time to reunite than many acts take between albums.

It does cheapen the whole Madison Square Garden thing, which now looks more like a cash grab than the emotional ending it was constantly billed as. It will be interesting to see how Murphy justifies it all.

yeah this stinks tbh. if it's true which it might not be?

come on it's just one dude, every day he decides to jam on his keyboard at home, 'lcd soundsystem is back together'

Nah, he reunited everyone for that single. This isn't NIN or GNR.

well he's nice enough to use the same people but if 'reunited' without and given band member, nobody would care.

it'll probably be ok if they treat it similarly to how NIN did 'we took a break from touring like we said we would after our big farewell shows and now we're going to continue making music from where we left off' etc but if there's no plans beyond the festival circuit cashgrab and that dull christmas song it'll come across pretty sad especially after only 5 years.

err 'if he reunited'

and 'without any given'

LCD could not successfully reunite Nancy or Pat

it'll come across pretty sad especially after only 5 years.

They only existed for nine years

oh noes the sublime artistic integrity of lcd soundsystem has been cheapened

anyway when they split he said they'd play & record again, but he didn't expect to make albums and tour the same songs for 18 months again

yeah it would be cool if they just became a studio band from here on out, I thought it was the touring that really wore Murphy out

There's no "if" about the reunion. They're playing a whole bunch of festivals and perhaps other dates in the US and Europe this Spring and Summer, starting with Coachella and running until at least July. Coachella isn't even the only one they're doing in Southern California.

Not that any statement was necessary given how obviously premature and therefore faux was the purported breakup, but anyone who thought it wouldn't happen (or who invested any sort of significance in that MSG show) missed Murphy telling you at the time that it probably would. When he decided he wanted to soundtrack the NYC subway and realized that he needed a lot of money to do it (and a lot of money he's getting), it became a no-brainer.

Not to suggest that there's nothing silly about investing any significance in a TNG Talking Heads knockoff with a more bearish, less bright frontman in the first place

So this whole thing is to help fund his subway project?

TNG?

it's a hairdressing term

Oh, star trek The Next Generation

gabbers has a point, tbf

So this whole thing is to help fund his subway project?

Does the fact that it might help fund a fairly-unlikely art project make you feel better about the idea that they're willing to be paid millions of dollars? I'm led to believe it was part of the impetus, or removal of indifference.

They were so sad when we broke up
But now they're mad
That we're not

he goes on a bit like but fair dos
